From Plotzk to Boston - An Immigrant's Story - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Written from the authors own personal experiences of her journey from Polotsk, Russia to Boston, USA in  1894 at the age of 11. This early works, published in  1899, is a fascinating look at American history and immigration. Mary Antin's vivid description of all she and her dear ones went through, enables us to see almost with our own eyes how the invasion of America appears to the impecunious invader. It is thus "a human document" of considerable value, as well as a promissory note of future performance..... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
